Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Villa Capri presents an investment opportunity through a modernization program. Current average rents are $1,318 per unit, below market rents of $1,501+. Strategic renovation of kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring may allow a new owner to reposition the asset and increase the Net Operating Income (NOI). The property is located at 1985 N Winery Ave, near California State University, Fresno, and Fresno City College. The Fresno multifamily market shows performance with asking rents in the Central Valley growing by 1.8% annually, with appreciation indicated through 2026. Villa Capri is positioned to benefit from the region’s undersupply of rental housing. Fresno serves as the economic heart of the Central Valley, adding 7,600 new jobs. The local economy is supported by healthcare, education, and a logistics sector anchored by Amazon, Target, and Walmart. The expansion of the Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) solidifies the area as a hub for commerce and travel, driving household formation and rental demand. Villa Capri features a unit mix, with 92% of the property comprised of two-bedroom floor plans. The two-building, garden-style layout is on a 0.93-acre site. Offered at $4,400,000 ($157,143/unit), Villa Capri provides an entry point with a projected Pro Forma Cap Rate of 6.98% and a Cash-on-Cash return of 7.30%.

Key Highlights

  • Significant upside potential: increase rents by nearly 14% through strategic interior modernization.
  • Prime Fresno location: near California State University, Fresno and Fresno City College.
  • Strong multifamily market: resilient Fresno market with continued rent appreciation forecasts.

Financial Insights

Estimated NOI and Cap Rate

NOI = area × lease_rate × (100 − vacancy) / 100 × (1 − expense_ratio). Net Operating Income — what the owner takes home each year before mortgage payments and income tax. Effective rent (asking rent minus vacancy losses) minus operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance, management).
NOI / Yr
$277,960
Cap rate = NOI / list price × 100. Capitalization rate — annual return on a fully cash purchase, before financing. NOI divided by price. Higher means more income per dollar invested, but usually also more risk or older condition. 5–8% is typical for stabilized commercial property; double digits often signal distressed deals.
Cap Rate
6.32%
Suggested Prices Based on Cap Rates Cap rates vary significantly by property type, market, and asset quality. Typical U.S. stable-market ranges: Multifamily — 4.5% to 6.5% (Class A in primary markets often sub-5%; Class C in secondary markets 6%+) Industrial / Logistics — 5.0% to 7.0% (compressed heavily in recent years due to e-commerce demand) Office — 6.5% to 9%+ (wide spread post-2020; CBD Class A vs. suburban Class B varies dramatically) Retail — 5.5% to 8.5% (grocery-anchored on the low end, unanchored strip centers higher) Hospitality / Hotels — 7.5% to 10%+ (higher due to operational risk) Self-Storage — 5.5% to 7.5% Medical Office — 6.0% to 7.5% Net Lease (single tenant, credit) — 5.0% to 7.0% depending on tenant credit and lease term Rules of thumb: Primary markets (NYC, SF, LA, Boston, DC) trade at lower cap rates than secondary/tertiary markets, often by 100–200 bps (bps, aka basis points; 1 bp = 0.01%). Class A assets trade ~50–150 bps tighter than Class B, and Class B tighter than Class C. Cap rates move inversely with price — a lower cap rate means a higher price for the same NOI. Spread to the 10-year Treasury is a common benchmark; historically 200–400 bps over the 10-year.
